Kovalchuk paired with checkers
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Yes, that’s Ilya Kovalchuk wearing a red sweater today at Thrashers practice, along with Marty Reasoner and Chris Thorburn. The red sweater has been the fourth line sweater all year, though Thrashers staffers tell me the sweater colors don’t signify anything. Reasoner has been a third-line center, and Thorburn has bounced between the third and fourth lines.
If John Anderson wanted to make a statement, it looks like he picked a strong way to make it. However, after practice, he told me the lines were about looking for a way to score goals and not about sending any messages. Who knows? Maybe he can accomplish both.
The complete lines:
Kozlov-White-Little
Armstrong-Williams-Christensen
Kovalchuk-Reasoner-Thorburn
Boulton-Slater-Crabb-Perrin
